New Ad: “Working For You”

Today, Mary Burke launched the first biographical TV ad of her campaign for Governor, “Working For You.” The 60 second spot lays out Burke’s qualifications and makes clear that she will be a Governor who works for the people of Wisconsin – not the big money special interests. Burke has spent the majority of her 30 year career in business, and is the only candidate for Governor who has created jobs, balanced a budget and met payroll in the private sector.

The ad will run in the Milwaukee, Green Bay/Appleton, Wausau, and Eau Claire/La Crosse media markets on broadcast and cable.

I’m Mary Burke and I’m proud to have helped build Trek into a great Wisconsin company where nearly a thousand people go to work everyday.

Scenes of the economy, and Trek

But I also know that for too many the economy isn’t working as it should. Good jobs, like Trek’s, are hard to find and it’s a struggle paying the bills or saving a little. That’s why I’m running for Governor. Because we can do better.
